Remember the good ole' days when we would practice for fire drills and earthquake drills?

Some older folk might even remember the nuclear war drills.

Well, now our schools have "gunmen on campus" drills. No joke.

When the signal is given, I (as the teacher) herd all my students into a pre-determined location to hide. We actually practice this.

We also practice evacuating the school in a "safe manner"....i.e., we tell the students to run in a zig zag fashion because its harder to hit a moving target.

What a world we live in, huh?

God help that child/ren and their families.

We looked on the news channel, nothing there. Why? Because its not gory enough, sexy enough, or whatever.....

I guess its considered to be not newsworthy?

Do keep us informed on how the child is doing.

Sad news. What is becoming of our children?

I never heard of shooter on campus drills when I was a kid, the thought never crossed anyone’s mind there would ever be a need for that. I wonder if this might be grudge related or maybe even gang related.

Whatever happened to the days when kids could be kids?
Raist

I don't want to jump to conslusions, but who wants to bet the shooter was on anti-depressants?

My heart goes out to the family and friends of this boy. Such a needless tradgedy. We are seeing too much of this in todays society and I fear for our youth.
